Last of in my opinion.of the good funny sports announcers who didn't try to talk down to people.m
Yep he travelled in his bus .Really was a great guy....hated to fly....flew to see Daryl Stingly multiple times after being paralyzed by one of his players....Jack Tatum iirc..
I am feeling a little odd right now. I am not that big a football fan and for some reason John Madden came into my thoughts a few days ago and I wondered what he was doing these days. To make it more odd I was watching an old YouTube clip yesterday of Don Rickles hosting SNL and Madden was in the audience and Don called him out to be recognized.He was one of a kind, like him or hate him you never had to wonder what he was thinking! Loved his bus! He was a great announcer!

Documentary on Madden was on Fox just last weekend. It was great.
Search for a replay of it if you can. Well worth the time.
RIP. Definitely one of the all time greats. He holds the record for the winning est coach. I think it was 103 wins in 16 seasons? Record still stands.
I corrected it. It was in 10 seasons.That's not even close to the record. Maybe a Raiders franchise record??
None-the-less, he seemed like a good guy and I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Hopefully it was quick and painless.
